The cop, conducting a drug raid, was acquitted of all charges in a local court. But now Darla Kaye Jennings has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court, challenging the use of no-knock drug raids altogether. Darla Kaye Jennings filed the lawsuit on behalf of Sincere Wilson, her 1-year-old grandson who was injured when his mother, Tarika Wilson, 26, was shot. The lawsuit asks for compensation for Sincere’s injuries as well as seeking an end to "police abuse by requiring that high risk...

Ms. Jennings is clearly thinking "What the fuck are they gonna do to me? I'm old. They just killed my daughter and mentally screwed up my grandkid for life. I'm gonna spend my last days going for justice." Go get 'em, Darla. Hopefully the younger (self included) can muster up the stones to support you in this cause.

Be interesting to see why the shots were fired in the first place. Looks like the police are sure it was the right house based on months of investigation. In the future maybe a quick knock or two may prevent this kind of tragedy. Surely, you not advocating that crack houses should be legal. Why can't we see what came out in trial about what caused the police officer to shot? Is it a secret?

The other shots in question were from another officer shooting a dog.

They could've waited until the perpetrator(s) left the house and make arrest(s) on the front porch.

Darla is a brave woman, and I offer her condolences and support.
